I once had to do some minor work on a piano that was shipped on its side.
The biggest thing was that the keys had lifted off the front rail pins and
were all jammed together. It looked scary but just involved removing the
stop rail, lifting out sections of keys and reinstalling.

But your post and my little experience prompts this question: Can we assume
that any upright can be gently flopped on its side, safely, as long as the
case is in good shape?
